Modern Honda Fender Swapping
I was measuring a pair of recent Honda Shadow Sabre VT1100 fenders against my GL1100 and discovered the Sabre fenders are exactly the same width as my GL1100 fenders between the front forks and between the rear fender struts.
Has anyone done a thread about compatible Honda fenders?...some of those modern Honda fenders would really freshen up the look of an Oldwing without having to look "outside the brand".
